We now at a awful crossroads where the most elite of officials are nowretiring and what is coming in behind is so far off PL/ top flight level in that country the level is crazy 😆😆
I have never seen the premier league so weak and the options to promote are so few and far between.
The broader issue is really quite acute. Throughout both England and Scotland, a vast number of officials resigned/retired in 2020-2022. That was throughout the pyramid, but a lot at the middle-to-lower echelons.
That will have an impact over the next few years, as the number of experienced officials vying for promotion is lower than it would normally be.
